@underleveled - Lovely stuff. I also got an N64 for Christmas in 1998. I was in 1st grade. My dad owned an NES from before I was born with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt and SMB3, and if there were other games I dont remember them. I would ask him to take me to the flea market on weekends and Id buy NES games back when they were dirt cheap (sigh). SMB was the first video game I ever played, though.

My dad skipped the SNES and as a result I went from NES as our first home console to N64 as our second and I was completely blown away. Nothing has floored me the way entering the first floor of Peachs Castle and exploring Bob-omb Battlefield on Christmas did and I dont expect that to change. I would have to agree its one of the best gifts I ever received, if not the best, both in terms of the joy it brought me and the amount of time I spent using it.

Funny enough, Diddy Kong Racing was supposed to be our second game as my parents elected to have me pick one more in the week after Christmas, but none of the few stores we went to had it. Me being impatient, I blind bought Banjo-Kazooie instead as a six year old lol. We did get Diddy Kong Racing as well in the month or so following Christmas, though.

You said you ended up picking Mario to play first on Christmas Day, thats funny since it was your brothers pick. Im sure your brother enjoyed being able to watch you play even if he was impatiently waiting. Thank God for multiple save files.

What Wario games have you played so far, and which others do you plan to play? Definitely do share your Wii/Galaxy story at some point!
